National Geographic Explorer-in-Residence Dr. Spencer Wells and team designed Geno 2.0 based on the new technologies and insights that emerged since the launch of the Genographic Project in 2005. Using an exclusive, custom-built genotyping chip, we test nearly 150,000 DNA markers that have been specifically selected to provide unprecedented ancestry-related information.

By participating, you will:-Discover the migration paths your ancient ancestors followed hundredseven thousandsof years ago, with an unprecedented view of your ancestral journey-Learn what percentage of your genome is affiliated with specific regions of the world-Find out if you have Neanderthal or Denisovan ancestry-Have the opportunity to share your story and connect with other Genographic Project participants, helping us fill in the gaps in the human story
